Warrington Test Centres and Pass Rates

49,452 tests were taken across seven centres from 2024 to 2025, with Warrington itself achieving the highest pass rate at 55.3% while nearby Speke and St Helens struggled around 38-40%. The region's road network varies dramatically from Warrington's relatively straightforward town centre to Liverpool's complex urban challenges including the busy dock roads and multiple tunnels under the Mersey. Manchester's orbital routes around Sale present their own difficulties with heavy traffic and complex junction systems. Men outperformed women by 3-6 percentage points at most centres, with the largest gaps in St Helens and Widnes. Automatic drivers found their best conditions in Northwich (52.5%) and struggled most around Liverpool and St Helens where rates dropped to around 32-34%.
